Pahoa, Hawai`i Versus Huntington Beach, California: Contrast Paragraph (First informal draft)

Moving to Pahoa, Hawai`i from Huntington Beach, California I have noticed how different the lifestyle is in three ways. I see this when I am driving, when I am communicating with locals, and when I am making purchases. First significant differences occur between driving in Pahoa verses Huntington Beach. People in Pahoa seem to drive a lot slower, always taking their time. On the other hand, in Huntington Beach everyone is always in a hurry trying to be someplace. The cars in Huntington Beach are more luxurious in contrast to Pahoa where the automobiles are more for efficiency and less for show. Second, when I am communicating with the locals

    The California Coastal Act was enacted in the 1970s and it required that the 76 coastal cities and counties in the state must prepare and maintain a local coastal plan (LCP).

Instead of having one big LCP, Los Angeles and many other coastal cities divided their jurisdictions up into multiple local coastal program areas. Los Angeles divided up the city into six different delineated areas, all of which have not developed their local coastal plans due to the…

    For example, when traveling out of Pomona you start to see nicer houses, the streetlights look better, and the roads are better paved. Chino Hills, an upper middle-class suburban city lies next to Pomona and it’s easy to find many differences. This illustrates that the grass is greener on the other side. Apart from having an excellent school system, beautiful sceneries, and people that drive expensive cars such as the Acura, BMW, and Mercedes, this is a city that clearly contrasts against the poverty-stricken Pomona.

Originally, it served under the Spanish government, but it became a part of Mexico, when Mexico declared its independence from Spain. Then during the Gadsden purchase, it was sold to the United States but was considered a territory of the Confederate States, then when Arizona became a state it was once again under United States rule ().…

I didn’t know much about the place, except that I referred to it as an army town because that’s where my sister and her husband, who was in the military, stayed. I was reluctant to go, but Charleston had a lot to offer me; a new change of pace and some new scenery was much more satisfying than spending the two weeks stuck in Iowa doing the same old routine. The weather was mystical in Charleston.…

Day before the journey begins, I realized this will be my first time riding a plane as well. This frightened me because I am afraid of heights. I fixed this by reading a book on how to not be afraid of heights while riding the airplane (This is funny because my dad thought I was ridiculous).…
